How long ago was this? Your attorney could have easily requested a
stay on the court date until the current lawsuit against Acacia is
settled (which will more than likley invalidate their patents).

Just to correct myself... there is no lawsuit against Acacia, but
there are finally a group of defendants (11) that are well prepared to
challenge the Acacia claim (something that has yet to be done).

Either way, one could make a very strong case for a stay until those
play out in the courts.

Anyone else having trouble running them?

Can't run it in Netscape (which I use for usenet). I can cut the URL that
Peter
posted into an IE window and get it to run.

Uh-oh. Anyone here care to help me solve THIS one?

I don't know anything about making something "Netscape capable"...

Probably not your problem. Ask Corky Scott if he can run it with *his* version
of Netscape. If so, forget about it.

Certainly the Wright brother's patents were.

Yes, if your on a unix machine you need to add handlers to the srm.conf file,
they would look like:

AddType video/x-ms-asf asf asx
AddType video/x-ms-wmv wmv

actually this was asked of them during a live interview, their response was the law
allows them certain latitude, they decided to go after websits because they can make
more money.
But remember they already signed lodgnet (the people who provide in-room movies to
hotels) and are trying to get money from Universities right now.

patent law suits are expensive, its not something you want to fight if you dont have
to.

actually there are law suits against acacia by a couple of different companies. Not
directly against the DMT patents, but as a result of them and ongoings around them.

There is a group (whom I know personally and recently talked to on the phone) who has
been in litigation with acacia for awhile.
This isnt a new thing, its just recently they have been really pushing their license
thing. I think they will win, there is ALOT of people helping them find prior art. We
were first "asked" to sign their license agreement 3 months ago. The company in
litigation was first "ask" to sign it last year.
